"What do you want?" Wang Bin was furious after hearing the big man's unreasonable demands. He said a few words to Li Dazhu and the others before walking alone to confront the big man.

The leader of the thugs glanced at Wang Bin, feeling a twinge of fear as the scenes of Wang Bin fighting yesterday flashed in his mind. However, seeing Wang Bin approach alone, he regained his confidence.

"It's simple. We want white rice and cigarettes!"

"You think you're worthy of eating my rice and smoking my cigarettes?"

"Why wouldn't we be? We're all in the same boat. If there's any benefit, we should get a share. Don't think you can hog it all!"

"So you know we're in the same boat? Why didn't you help when the zombies attacked, only running for your lives? Look at you, big and strong, with guns in your hands. Are you weaker than women? Our soldiers bled and sacrificed for us, and I just used some of the cigarettes we collected to reward our benefactors. Does that make you jealous? Aren't you ashamed? And you all, following their lead and causing a ruckus, do you think this is fair to the soldiers who died for us?"

With every word Wang Bin spoke, the people around him lowered their heads a little more. When he reached those who had been following the big man's lead, they shamefully retreated several steps, distancing themselves from the thugs.

"Hmph, sweet talk! You'd better give us what we want today, or don't blame us for getting rough!" With that, the thugs pulled out their guns and aimed them at Wang Bin.

Seeing the guns pointed at Wang Bin, the crowd gasped and stepped back. The third platoon leader and others also raised their guns at the thugs.

"I warn you, don't act recklessly. Put down your guns!" the third platoon leader shouted loudly.

Seeing the third platoon leader's reaction, Wang Bin sighed inwardly. He understood why Platoon Leader Liu was still just a platoon leader in his thirties—he lacked the decisive ruthlessness of Company Commander Zhao.

Wang Bin didn't want to waste words with these people. He smiled faintly and made a gesture as if to touch his head.

"Bang! Bang!"

As soon as Wang Bin's hand touched his head, Officer Miao and her team, hidden in the shadows, opened fire, instantly killing the thugs with headshots, giving them no chance at all.

When he saw the thugs causing trouble, Wang Bin had already decided to kill them. The reason he spoke those words earlier was to separate the thugs from the crowd, allowing Officer Miao and her team to shoot.

Platoon Leader Liu didn't expect Wang Bin to act without a word. It wasn't until Wang Bin turned to leave that he snapped back to reality.

"Wang Bin, wait a moment!"

"Platoon Leader Liu, is there something else?"

"Wang Bin, thank you!"

"No need to thank me. You should learn from Company Commander Zhao and be more decisive in your actions!"

Hearing Wang Bin mention Company Commander Zhao, Platoon Leader Liu felt a pang in his heart. In the past, Company Commander Zhao had been there to lead them, so he never had to worry about situations like today. Now that Company Commander Zhao was gone, all the responsibility fell on his shoulders.

At that moment, he realized the vast difference between himself, Company Commander Zhao, and the young man in front of him, who seemed barely in his twenties. He had so much to learn.

From Wang Bin's demeanor and words, he could tell Wang Bin was disappointed in him, which made him feel terrible.

If he could trade his life for Company Commander Zhao's, he would gladly do it, so Zhao could lead everyone.

But that was impossible, and he had to bear it all.

"Platoon Leader?"

Seeing Platoon Leader Liu staring blankly at Wang Bin's back, the soldiers approached him.

"Ah! I... I'm sorry, everyone!"

Looking at the soldiers who trusted him so much, Platoon Leader Liu cried, feeling unworthy of being their leader.

"Platoon Leader, what are you saying? You'll always be our leader!"

"Yeah, he's just a kid. How can he lecture you?"

"Dare to lecture our leader? We won't smoke his cigarettes anymore!"

"Yeah, no more of his cigarettes!"

Hearing this, the soldiers threw their unfinished cigarettes on the ground.

"What are you doing? Do you know how hard it is to get those cigarettes? Pick them up, quickly!"

"But Platoon Leader!"

"That's an order!"

"Yes, Platoon Leader!"

"Don't worry, I may not have done well before, but from now on, I'll be a competent leader!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Platoon Leader Liu regain his fighting spirit, the soldiers were happy and nodded in agreement.

In just a few seconds, Platoon Leader Liu thought a lot. He knew he couldn't escape, and since he couldn't, he had to face it bravely. So he decided to be a qualified leader and lead everyone back to the base.

After that, Platoon Leader Liu seemed like a changed person, acting decisively. He gathered everyone and instructed them to collect wild vegetables and any edible food on the way back.

Previously, he thought only his soldiers should collect food since their duty was to protect the civilians back to the base. But Wang Bin's scolding woke him up.

If they didn't show some toughness, people would take their kindness for weakness, encouraging their ambitions.

Life was hard for everyone. Why should they do all the work? If they wanted to survive, they had to contribute.

Seeing Platoon Leader Liu change so quickly, Officer Miao gave Wang Bin a thumbs-up.

Wang Bin smiled faintly and said, "He has a lot of responsibility now. He has to grow up quickly!"

Officer Miao laughed at Wang Bin's words.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Your tone makes it sound like you're older than Platoon Leader Liu!"

"Haha, now that Sister Miao mentions it, I do think Brother Wang Bin often sounds like an old man!"

"Xiaoyue, do you still want Bouncy Gummies?"

"Oh no, Brother Wang, I'm sorry! I won't say you sound old anymore!"

Seeing Guan Xiaoyue tease him, Wang Bin threatened her with his trump card. Hearing she wouldn't get any Bouncy Gummies, Xiaoyue quickly grabbed Wang Bin's arm, shaking it desperately, making everyone laugh.

"Wang Bin, I think you did the right thing."

"What do you mean?" Wang Bin was puzzled by Officer Miao's comment.

"By not giving them more food."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"People are hard to satisfy!"

Hearing Officer Miao's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

If Wang Bin's abilities were exposed, they might unite against them, forcing Wang Bin to keep providing food.

After resting, the group set off again. Since they were taking the mountain path, they found quite a few wild vegetables.

At dinner, Platoon Leader Liu had a pot of porridge and a pot of wild vegetable soup prepared.

After the afternoon's events, no one dared to cause trouble anymore. They knew the food was limited, and in the apocalypse, having rice porridge was already a blessing.

Once everyone received their food, Platoon Leader Liu stood in the middle of the crowd and said loudly, "The rice porridge is only enough for one meal. If you want more, find more wild vegetables on the way back tomorrow. We're not far from the base, and we should arrive by noon the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone works together during this time to get through this tough period! That's all I have to say. Enjoy your meal!"

Platoon Leader Liu made it clear: if you want to eat, find your own food. How much you find is how much you eat. If you don't find any, we'll all go hungry together.

"Wang Bin, after what you said, I think this Platoon Leader Liu has really gotten smarter!" Officer Miao teased Wang Bin with a smile after hearing Platoon Leader Liu's speech.

"Do you still want to drink beer?" Wang Bin pretended to be angry.

"Ha! I'm not Platoon Leader Liu. If you don't give it to me, I'll just take it!" Officer Miao wasn't intimidated by Wang Bin, acting like a rogue, leaving Wang Bin helpless.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed heartily at the exchange.
